Raw Sugar’s The Funny 2017 is the fourth annual curated feminist comedy festival of original works created by self-identified feminist artists.

The Funny 2017 once again engaged local female, trans, genderqueer, agender, queer, and feminist performers to create new works that challenge audiences to rethink their own perspectives on gender, sexuality, privilege, and community. Comprised of new, high-quality, humorous works, The Funny brings together artists and audiences in a celebratory, community-building event, while exposing the larger community to new artists and perspectives.

Raw Sugar artists represent a diversity of artistic disciplines, ages, sexual identities, gender identities, races/ethnicities, and performance experience level. They include musicians, writers, stand-up comics, puppeteers, and movement artists. Seven new performers and three performers from previous productions are eager to make The Funny 2017 the best one yet.
